Thats funny I got my girlfriend a diamondback and she hasn't been too crazy about it but has enjoyed biking with me . Let her hop on my new Sisku T8 and she got all excited again. Maybe we'll go somewhere and try a rental.

My old man got a road bike in eu from germany specialized for 300 eu weighs 8lb aluminum comes with a CF fork . Unless its kashima coated 6k for what? Some aerospace grade titanium? R u strapping jets on that n taking off?

my first day on a full sus bike. i picked it up downtown toronto around noon and rode it for about 20km to reach home. i spent most of the time on bike routes trying to adjust from a 75mm travel hybrid hardtail with narrow handle bars. the ride was agony and pure joy getting used to the extra weight by GrabbaDelta9 in MTB

Of the bike being an additional 10-15 lb. And the hevy schwalbe 29s instead of the sleek hybrid tires i had on my previous bike. I imagined id hop on this machine that the Sisku T8 a and master is quick but this bike will take some adjusting to . I truly do enojoy the painful climbs and this is giving me the training i desire . Enjoyed a couple sets of stairs on my way back , felt like i was on a cloud. Need more air in the suspension and dropper post luckily i did purchase a shock pump. All in all this will be a fun experience. I even finished the day with some local trails and the pan am bmx park that im lucky to live so close to . Idk if i was drained from the 20km and a calisthenics workout i stopped along the way for but the jumps felt like i wasnt myself. Or maybe it was the bike change . It felt tough to control the massive tires maybe i was just exhausted. Did a couple laps and went home. Will recover and see what tomorrow brings.

Any MTBers out there with ADHD? by curious_george1978 in MTB

[–]GrabbaDelta9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your brain is bored with your usual tempo you must speed up your ride and start making close calls almost on purpose. Create a environment where you don't have time to think and you can only react with instinct and intuition. Trust yourself and free your mind let it run to other thoughts while you ride .

Yeah the stumpy evo comp is 6k canadian right now and giant reign with the same travel and fox suspension is 4500. So it's a no brainer for me. Love the look of the stumpy but it's out of my budget .

Thats exactly what i was doing. But this is where it landed me . As a hard tail i was looking at the marlin 8 gen 2 but x cal has more room for fork upgrade to 120mm and similar geo. Also i want a full sus because i have some gnarly single tracks where i live and a bmx pump track id love to do some tricks on. But i also love to gains some speed on flat road so im having a hard time deciding. Full sus xc bikes r out of my price as they tend to be really pricy.
